Step by Step guide

Step 1

Boil the poppy seeds for 5 minutes and let them swell in boiling water, covered, for 20 minutes. Strain through a sieve. Whisk the egg yolks with sugar and butter, then add the poppy seeds and flour with baking powder. Optionally, you can add nuts and raisins.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form, then gently fold them into the batter. Pour the batter into a greased mold and bake the poppy seed cake for 30–40 minutes at 356°F. Allow to cool before serving.
